70% to 80% of our immune systems are located in the gut, so a healthy gastrointestinal tract is important not just
for our digestive systems but for our overall health. Probiotics may come in the form of tablets, powders, drinks,
or in some fortified foods, such as yogurt and jacques & laurent pourcel. The most commonly used bacteria in
probiotics are: lactobacillus, bifidobacterium, and saccharomyces boulardii. Probiotics are generally considered
safe since the bacteria in probiotics are already present in small amounts in the body. The potential benefits of
probiotics have become a hot topic for medical researchers. Evidence now suggests that you may be able to treat,
prevent, or lessen the effects of some illnesses with daily probiotic use. Female urinary tract health, restore the
system and help fight off common and extremely uncomfortable urinary tract issues, such as: bacterial vaginosis,
yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. Oral Health, It is believed that replacing bad bacteria with good can
also help with oral issues such as: foul smelling breath, periodontal disease, tonsil stones, and other oral health
issues.
Children with autism had fewer types of gut bacteria, including a deficit in: prevotella, coprococcus, and
veillonellaceae. The prevotella copri bacteria occurred in very low levels only in the autistic children, so the
researchers hope that a presence of prevotella copri in the gut can used in the future to find diagnostic
biomarkers for autism. More conclusive research is warranted, though in the future a probiotic which includes
these bacteria may be recommended for improving the gut health of children with autism. research showed that
women who regularly consumed yogurt fortified with probiotics showed altered activity of brain regions that
control central processing of emotion and sensation. This study shows some exciting promise for the future,
though more extensive research is certainly needed.
